Phosphorescent’s Gear, Van Stolen In NYC

Sad news from the Phosphorescent camp. After their show at Pier 54 in New York City last night, the band’s van was stolen along with all their gear and merch. All told, the band lost somewhere around $40,000 in equipment and are now trying to regroup and figure out how to keep the tour going. The band has set up a PayPal account for donations, and is asking for anyone with any information to come forward.
